Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to the improvement of a folding shoji installed in front of a Buddhist altar's zushi, and particularly relates to a shoji that creates a continuous pattern with a sense of unity throughout when the shoji is closed. .

Traditionally, shoji for Buddhist altars have edge frames that are foldably connected using hinges, etc., and thin decorative bars are incorporated vertically and horizontally into the frame to form a pattern, as shown in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings. A piece of board 3, which has been carved with a desired shape using a scroll saw or a chisel, is fitted into the edge frame 4 of the shoji, and a plurality of these edge frames are foldably connected with hinges 5, and the zushi of the Buddhist altar body 1 is made. The one attached to the front of section 2 is generally used.

However, apart from the former, which aims for the aesthetic effect of intersecting straight lines through a complex combination of decorative crosspieces, including the frame of the shoji, the latter aims to achieve the aesthetic effect of figurative patterns created by carving. In the case where the main focus is on the appearance, when the shoji is closed, the edge frame 4 into which the engraved board 3 is fitted will shred the engraved pattern on each shoji, reducing the beauty of the engraved pattern by half. It had the disadvantage of causing

In view of these conventional drawbacks, the present invention enables the engraved pattern to be expressed as a continuous painting on the entire shoji without being cut into pieces by the frame of the shoji even when the shoji is closed. The purpose is to provide a completely innovative shoji for Buddhist altars.

The specific structure of the shoji of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 shows one row of shoji according to the present invention, and unlike Figure 1, it is a vertically long rectangular board engraved with an arbitrary pattern, that is, the engraved patterns on the middle shoji 6 overlap when the shoji is closed. A mode in which the pattern is continuous without interruption with the pattern of the middle shoji 6 of the adjacent shoji unit member 7 is illustrated.

In this case, each shoji unit 7 consists of a frame 8 of the shoji unit 7 connected by a hinge 5 and a middle shoji 6 that is removably fitted into the front side of the frame 8, as shown in FIG. Each shoji unit member 7 is connected by a hinge 5 in a double-door shape to form a series of shoji.

The middle shoji 6 is usually made of a plate-like material such as purple shoji or black shoji, and is engraved with openwork using a scroll saw or chisel, and a thin cloth 9 such as gauze is pasted on the back side, similar to the structure of known shoji shoji. has been done.

Note that the middle shoji 6 is engraved with arbitrary designs such as plum blossoms, Japanese warblers, pine trees, etc. over the entire surface of the plate-like material, but at this time, the periphery of the engraved middle shoji 6 is designed to maintain the shape of the frame and the above-mentioned patterns. Thin cloth 9
A narrow frame portion 6a as shown in the figure is left because of the relationship in which the frame portion 6a is attached.

However, if the engraved pattern spans this peripheral area, this area will also be engraved.

On the other hand, the frame 8 into which the middle shoji 6 is fitted is formed by each pair of vertical frame members 8a.
and a horizontal frame member 8b, and a hinge on the side of the vertical frame member 8a for connecting each shoji unit member 7 to each other as described above or for attaching the shoji unit member 7 to the Buddhist altar body 1. 5 are attached to the upper and lower horizontal frame members 8b.
There is an eave part projecting slightly forward of the front surface of the vertical frame member 8a on the front part of the frame member 8a, and a mounting groove 10 for holding the middle shoji 6 is opposed to the projecting part of the horizontal frame member 8b in the longitudinal direction. It is set up to do so.

Therefore, by inserting the middle shoji 6 with engravings and a thin cloth 9 such as gauze attached to the back side from the side, the two are combined to form one shoji unit 7.

The shoji unit members 7 completed in this way are connected to each other by hinges 5 and attached to the front of the Buddhist altar's zushi 2, but the pattern engraved on the middle 6 sides of the shoji includes the periphery of each shoji unit 7. Since the pattern is continuous, it can be formed as shown in FIG.

As mentioned above, according to the shoji of the present invention, the pattern formed on the surface is engraved all the way to the periphery of each shoji unit material, so there is no breakage in the pattern seen on conventional shoji for Buddhist altars, and therefore the original engraved It is possible to enhance the beauty of the pattern and increase the aesthetic value and commercial value of the Buddhist altar, and since the middle shoji is removably connected, it is easy to replace the middle shoji, and the positioning of the pattern when carving a continuous pattern is easy. It is possible to provide a shoji screen that is simple and has effects such as simplicity and is highly innovative as a new type of shoji for a Buddhist altar.
